Chapter 486: Climbing Laojun Mountain Again
But the paper shattered before the rune was finished, unable to withstand the erosion of the vital energy.
Zhou Wen had only drawn the talisman once and it hadn't been successful yet, but his vitality had already been almost exhausted. The substitute talisman consumed too much vitality.
However, the Taoist body recovers its vitality very quickly, so Zhou Wen does not have to worry about not having enough vitality. It's just that the substitute talisman was not drawn, which is a bit of a waste.
Ordinary paper didn't seem to work, so Zhou Wen found a piece of wood, which was taken from a packing box and was made of common pine wood.
In the end, before Zhou Wen could finish drawing the substitute talisman on it, the pine board could not withstand the vitality and broke again.
Zhou Wen made up his mind and found a piece of steel plate. He drew talismans on it with his Yuan Qi. This time the steel plate did not crack, but the Yuan Qi talismans he drew fell apart all of a sudden, just like writing on it with gasoline, which quickly evaporated.
"It seems that it is not a problem of materials. Whether the substitute talisman can be successful should have a certain probability. It cannot be used just by drawing it." Zhou Wen probably understood the reason.
So he continued to try to draw substitute talismans with paper. He drew dozens of them, but none of them were successful. All the white paper was torn into pieces.
"Isn't this success rate too low? If it were someone else, their energy wouldn't be able to recover quickly enough, and they might not be able to draw so many substitute talismans in a day. If they can't even succeed on one in a day, the chance is almost as high as buying a lottery ticket." Zhou Wen was a little unwilling to give up, and continued to draw. As a result, he used up all the paper in a notebook, but still didn't succeed on a single one.
Zhou Wen had a stubborn temper. If he failed to draw one, he would feel unhappy. However, he couldn't find more paper at home, so he left the dormitory and planned to buy a few diaries from the supermarket. He didn't believe that he couldn't draw a substitute talisman.
Just as he walked out of Four Seasons Garden, he saw Wang Lu coming back from outside. After seeing Zhou Wen, Wang Lu blinked and said, "When did you come back? You didn't even tell me, and you asked me to help you take care of these two gluttons, the antelope and the bird. Isn't that too much?"
"I just came back and haven't had time to go yet." Zhou Wen said with a light cough. He really forgot about those two guys.
"You're back just in time. This is the food I bought for them. Please take it back for them." Wang Lu handed the two bags in his hand to Zhou Wen.
When Zhou Wen took a look, he found that the bag was full of various snacks, and they were all expensive branded goods.
"Student Wang Lu, you don't need to feed them these things. Just give them something to eat." Zhou Wen was speechless, thinking, "Do you have a mine at home? Do you need to be so extravagant to feed them?"
"It's not good to abuse small animals, right?" Wang Lu said with a smile.
After a while, Wang Lu said again: "By the way, you came back at the perfect time. Xuanwen will have an event tomorrow, you should come and join us."
"What activity?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Li Xuan said he wanted to go to Laojun Mountain to see the inscriptionless stele." Wang Lu said.
"Go to Laojun Mountain to see the inscriptionless stele?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised.
They had been to Laojun Mountain once before. After coming back, Li Xuan swore that he would never go to that damn place again in his life. Now he actually wanted to go to Laojun Mountain to see the inscriptionless stele by himself.
"It seems that Li Mobai's incident was indeed a big blow to him." Zhou Wen thought to himself.
"Are you going or not?" Wang Lu asked.
"Go." Zhou Wen thought about it and decided that since Li Xuan was determined to practice hard, he should of course support him.
"By the way, take the antelope with you when you go." Zhou Wen felt that this might be an opportunity to see if the antelope would return to the Golden Summit of Laojun Mountain by itself.
When we arrived at Wang Lu's dormitory, we saw that the antelope was still lazily sleeping on the sofa, while the bird was standing on the table, watching the entertainment program on TV.
There were two plates on the table, one with melon seeds in it and the other with melon seed shells. It cracked a melon seed very skillfully and spit the melon seed shells into the other plate, doing it smoothly and effortlessly.
Zhou Wen was sweating profusely as he watched, thinking, "Sure enough, you can't leave your pet to a woman. It's only been a few days, and it's already become like this. It looks like I'll have to leave it to Li Xuan to take care of it when I get out."
Moreover, Zhou Wen discovered that both of them had gained weight. They didn't grow up, but they really became fat. The bird used to be a small falcon with a streamlined body, but now it was as fat as a duck and walked with a sluggish gait. Zhou Wen was really worried whether it could still fly.
"No, I must educate it well and make it into an excellent phoenix. Who the hell has ever seen a phoenix that looks like a fat duck?" Zhou Wen made up his mind to train it well in the future.
"It seems that we should find a dimensional area for it to hone its skills." Zhou Wen stared at the bird and considered which dimensional area to take it to.
The bird shuddered inexplicably, looked away from the screen, and when it saw Zhou Wen, it immediately flapped its wings excitedly and flew over.
Zhou Wen opened his arms, wanting to hug it, but who knew that this thing fell down halfway through its flight because it was too fat. It flapped its wings violently a few times before it stabilized its body and did not fall flat on its face. Zhou Wen was so upset by this.
"This guy really can't fly anymore. I have to practice hard." Zhou Wen was secretly sulking in his heart.
As for the antelope, Zhou Wen didn't dare touch it and pretended not to see it.
After taking the antelope and the bird back to his dormitory, Zhou Wen went to buy breakfast and brought it to Wang Lu early the next morning. After getting up and eating, the two went to Xuanwenhui together.
Almost all the members of Xuanwen Society were present, and even busy people like Gudian and Huang Ji came.
Feng Qiuyan also brought Mingxiu and Tian Zhenzhen, as well as old members such as Fang Ruoxi and Tian Xiangdong. The group took the school bus and headed towards Laojun Mountain.
This is an activity that Xuanwen Society applied for from the school. The driver and the escorting instructor are all from the school, so there is no need to worry too much about safety issues.
Zhou Wen was not worried about his own safety. With the six-winged guardian dragon, there were only a handful of people in the Federation who could kill him. Even if he couldn't defeat them, Zhou Wen was confident that he could save his life.
The fat bird lay on Zhou Wen's legs, and the antelope occupied two seats. They were all brought over by Zhou Wen.
After the group arrived at Laojun Mountain, Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were familiar with the route and soon arrived at the inscriptionless monument on Laojun Mountain.
When they were going up the mountain, they met a few people. No one knew what they were doing, but they stopped in front of the inscriptionless monument, as if they were also there to see it.
"Mr. Jun, your last name is Jun, and this is Laojun Mountain. I think this is your blessed land." A middle-aged man said to the old man beside him in a flattering tone.
